Tucked away in a quiet, desirable suburb, this hotel offers a peaceful stay just 6km from the CBD. It’s a great option if you have a car, though it’s slightly removed from the action without one. Dining options by the lake are conveniently close by, adding to the appeal. The room was impeccably clean and thoughtfully equipped. A heads-up for future guests - watch your step entering the bathroom due to a slight floor-level change or stubbed toes guaranteed, and be prepared for a bit of water to escape the shower area. Minor quirks, but nothing that detracted from our experience. We were initially disappointed about the lack of secure parking, which was mentioned during booking, but found a free and convenient spot just a two-minute walk away, perfectly suitable for an overnight stay. All in all, we’d happily recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again.

It was opposite restaurants. It was quiet and comfortable. Parking was expensive so we avoided it. I would have liked drawers to put clothes away. Overall a pleasant stay.

Abode have a real problem with the plumbing, the shower does not drain properly and floods over the bathroom , I had to use towels to soak up the water, a real slip hazard. Sink in bathroom also does not drain properly. I was talking to friends who stayed there several years ago and they had the same problem, they were just give a heap of towels like I did.

Staff very helpful and friendly; room is neat and tidy. Kingston Foreshore is only 10 mins away so great location if you want a drink and nice dinner by the water. The only small thing is the bed is two single beds put together so if you're couple that wouldn't be too comfortable.
